Snyder equal-area projection is a polyhedral map projection used in the ISEA (Icosahedral Snyder Equal Area) discrete global grids. It is named for John P. Snyder, who developed the projection in the 1990s. [1]
It is a modified Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection, most often applied to a polyhedral globe consisting of an icosahedron. [2] [3]
