The Projections used at Equal Area Maps

This section provides some information about the various equal area projections used for the maps at Equal-Area-Maps.com. Pages about the following projections are available:

Projections with fully implemented maps

Mollweide - elliptical pseudo-cylindrical

Sinusoidal - sinusoidal pseudo-cylindrical

Behrmann - cylindrical equal area

Projections with interactive basemaps but no overlay capability

Bonne - pseudo-conic

Craster - parabolic pseudo-cylindrical

Eckert IV & VI - elliptical & sinusoidal pseudo-cylindrical

Hammer - azimuthal with elliptical meridians

McBryde-Thomas 4 - quartic pseudo-cylindrical
