cylindrical equal-area projection

It is a member of the cylindrical equal-area projection family.

The projection he promoted is a specific parameterization of the cylindrical equal-area projection.

All cylindrical equal-area projections use the formula:

An example of an orthographic projection onto a cylinder is the Lambert cylindrical equal-area projection.

In cartography, the Lambert cylindrical equal-area projection, or Lambert cylindrical projection, is a cylindrical, equal area map projection.

The invention of the Lambert cylindrical equal-area projection is attributed to the Alsatian mathematician Johann Heinrich Lambert in 1772.

The Hobo-Dyer map projection is a cylindrical equal-area projection, with standard parallels (where there is no north-south nor east-west distortion) at 37.5 north and south of the equator.

This formula was first derived by Archimedes, based upon the fact that the projection to the lateral surface of a circumscribed cylinder (i.e. the Lambert cylindrical equal-area projection) is area-preserving.

Arno Peters stirred controversy when he proposed what is known as the Gall-Peters projection, a slight modification of the Lambert Cylindrical Equal-Area projection, as 'the' alternative to the Mercator.

The Gall-Peters projection, named after James Gall and Arno Peters, is one specialization of a configurable equal-area map projection known as the equal-area cylindric or cylindrical equal-area projection.

The HEALPix projection is an equal-area hybrid combination of: the Lambert cylindrical equal-area projection, for the equatorial regions of the sphere; and an interrupted Collignon projection, for the polar regions.
