| | |
| In [[cartography]], the '''Lambert cylindrical equal-area projection''', or '''Lambert cylindrical projection''', is a
| |
| [[Map projections#Cylindrical|cylindrical]], [[Map projection#Equal-area|equal area]] [[map projection]]. It is a member of the [[cylindrical equal-area projection]] family. This projection is undistorted along the [[equator]], which is its [[standard parallel]], but distortion increases rapidly towards the poles. Like any cylindrical projection, it stretches parallels increasingly away from the equator. The poles accrue infinite distortion, becoming lines instead of points.

| ==History==
| |
| The projection is attributed to the [[Alsace|Alsatian]] mathematician [[Johann Heinrich Lambert]] in 1772.<ref name="mulcahy_lambert">{{Cite web
