  2. Albers projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albers_projection

    The Albers equal-area conic projection, or Albers projection, is a conic, equal area map projection that uses two standard parallels. Although scale and shape are not preserved, distortion is minimal between the standard parallels. It was first described by Heinrich Christian Albers (1773-1833) in a German geography and astronomy periodical in ...

    Albers conic, which adjusts the north-south distance between non-standard parallels to compensate for the east-west stretching or compression, giving an equal-area map. Lambert conformal conic , which adjusts the north-south distance between non-standard parallels to equal the east-west stretching, giving a conformal map.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal-area_projection

    In cartography, an equivalent, authalic, or equal-area projection is a map projection that preserves relative area measure between any and all map regions. Equivalent projections are widely used for thematic maps showing scenario distribution such as population, farmland distribution, forested areas, and so forth, because an equal-area map does ...
