The past 5 years have dramatically changed our view of the disks of gas and dust around young stars. Observations with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and extreme adaptive optics systems have revealed that disks are dynamical systems. Most disks contain resolved structures, both in gas and dust, including rings, gaps, spirals, azimuthal dust concentrations, shadows cast by misaligned inner disks, as well as deviations from Keplerian rotation. The origin of these structures and how they relate to the planet formation process remain poorly understood. Spatially resolved kinematic studies offer a new and necessary window to understand and quantify the physical processes (turbulence, winds, radial and meridional flows, stellar multiplicity, instabilities) at play during planet formation and disk evolution. Recent progress, driven mainly by resolved ALMA observations, includes the detection and mass determination of embedded planets, the mapping of the gas flow around the accreting planets, the confirmation of tidal interactions and warped disk geometries, and stringent limits on the turbulent velocities. In this chapter, we will review our current understanding of these dynamical processes and highlight how kinematic mapping provides new ways to observe planet formation in action.

Revealing Fine Structure in Protoplanetary Disks with Physics Constrained Neural Fields
Physics-constrained neural fields plus a fast differentiable ray tracer recover a flattened, thin CO layer beyond 400 au in the HD 163296 disk.

Magnetohydrodynamical opening of dust traps in protoplanetary disks
Large-scale magnetic stresses can overwhelm the pressure-bump trap and force dust to drift inward, "opening" dust traps in wide, low-contrast rings.

Baryon Asymmetry from Electroweak-Symmetric Domain Walls
Electroweak-symmetric domain walls produce the observed baryon asymmetry via CP-violating semiclassical forces, transport, sphalerons, and interference between the two wall faces in a singlet-extended Standard Model.

Infall Explains the Disk Kinematics of AB Aur Without Gravitational Instability
Infalling gas streamers, not disk self-gravity, can produce the convergent velocity signature around the AB Aur spiral arms that was used as evidence for gravitational instability.

The Dynamics of Infall and Accretion Shocks in the Outer Disk
The STAK model connects infalling envelope gas to the disk through shocks, predicts elliptical post-shock orbits, and produces twisted, asymmetric velocity maps that resemble ALMA observations of L1527.

Extending dynamical mass measurements: probing GI as a possible origin of mm-dust spirals
Dynamical rotation-curve fits give M_disk ≈ 0.30 M_sun for HD 97048 and ≈ 0.21 M_sun for WaOph 6, and indicate disks with mm-dust spirals have systematically lower Toomre Q.

Connecting Planetary Composition with Formation: a New Paradigm Emerges
A synthesis review argues that MHD disk winds, not turbulence, dominate disk evolution and planet formation, linking observed disk structures to exoplanet composition and orbits.
