Selenography

Selenography is the study of Lunar geography. Selenography is deeper and more complex than the study of maps (cartography) and place names (toponymy). Currently, Selenography focuses on the visible Lunar surface features and the Lunar natural environment; where they are located and how they interact with each other (physical selenography). Selenography is closely linked to selenology, the study of the composition and processes of the solid material that makes up Luna, and often overlap each other.

Eventually, with permanent human habitation, selenography will encompass the full range of topics covered by geology: studying people, communities, cultures, economies and their interactions with their location and environment (human selenography). The third sub-discipline, environmental (or integrated) geography, is concerned with the interaction between the environment and humans. The four broad areas of geographical, and selenographical, research are: [1]

Spatial analyses of human and natural phenomena
Studies of human-land relationships
Studies of places and regions
Earth sciences (or Lunar sciences in this case)

A short history of selenography, along with historical Lunar maps, can be found at Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topography_of_the_Moon).

Lunar environment has it's own category in Lunarpedia but technically falls under selenography.

Lunar Atmosphere
Lunar Gravity
Lunar Radiation Environment
Lunar Regolith Dust
Lunar Thermal Environment
Lunar Impactors
Solar wind

Astronomy also has it's own Lunarpedia category but, again, really falls under selenography (if it pertains to Luna).

Lunar maps and atlases

Spatial interrelationships are at the core of selenography and maps are a key tool. The long-term plan is to have a fully interactive Lunar Atlas on Lunarpedia. However, we’re not there yet. For now, here are some links:
