Lambert cylindrical equal-area projection
- Lambert cylindrical equal-area projection
In cartography, the Lambert cylindrical equal-area projection, Lambert cylindrical projection, or cylindrical equal-area projection is a
cylindrical, equal area
map projection. The invention of this projection is attributed to the Alsatian mathematician Johann Heinrich Lambert in 1772.[cite web]
