The
Lambert cylindrical equal-area projection
is a
cylindrical equal-area projection
used in
cartography
. Attributed to the Swiss mathematician
Johann Heinrich Lambert
, this projection is undistorted along the
equator
, which is its
standard parallel
. Distortion increases rapidly, however, towards the poles, which become lines instead of points.
