Moon studies

What I was wondering was, is there any interest in studying the Moon through specific features? This is a separate idea from lunar imaging, so I don't concentrate on that aspect and just take what I can get when the Moon is up. A while ago I decided that studying the Moon was a little like drinking from a firehose; it's just difficult to know where to start. So I decided to target individual features and try to understand what happened there, leading more easily to a general understanding of the Moon and its evolution.

Here's an example: Fracastorius (imaged at MSATT). It has a long and complicated history with the Nectaris basin and later mare flooding. Happy to discuss this kind of thing with others if there's any interest.
