Several new coronagraphs and heliospheric imagers are entering service, spurring major advances for many coronal and interplanetary physics questions: How do CMEs form and propagate? What is the bottom-to-top structure of the corona, including streamers/pseudostreamers and the S-web, and how does it drive reconnection, heating, and the solar wind? What is the role and origin of ubiquitous mesoscale structures? Recently launched visible-light imagers include (by date): CCOR-1, monitoring the middle corona to study and forecast space weather; CODEX, probing novel spectral signatures of outflow and heating; ASPIICS, studying the lower corona to uncover the origins of coronal structure; and PUNCH, surveying the outer corona and inner heliosphere to understand both ambient solar wind and interplanetary evolution of space weather. This session solicits observational and numerical-modeling contributions relevant to the plethora of new and anticipated data, exploring synergies between the new instrumentation and existing assets within the growing global Heliosystems Laboratory.
