The field of TeV astrophysics has advanced remarkably in the past decade, evolving from its (astro)particle physics roots. In this seminar, I will detail some of the very latest and most important discoveries at very high energies, from 0.1 TeV to 100 TeV, and the potential for cosmic PeVatron discovery in the very near future in the multi-TeV regime. Complex analyses of large survey datasets, namely the H.E.S.S. Galactic Plane Survey, have played a key role in revealing the TeV sky, and the evolution of this field is poised to continue at an even more rapid pace with the next-generation Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). I will focus the seminar on studies of particle acceleration in Galactic gamma-ray sources and the search for new extreme cosmic-ray accelerators, both leptonic and hadronic, in the context of the H.E.S.S. survey and the planned CTA survey. I will conclude with a summary of the developing synergies in multi-messenger approaches with neutrino detectors, both current and future.
