Snyder equal-area projection

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.

With the dual tiling system is possible to transform the big triangular faces (gray) into small centered-hexagons (red), and vice versa .
