| A4 Projection | Equal Earth | |
|---|---|---|
| Creator | Bernhard Jenny (2008) | Bojan Savric, Tom Patterson, Bernhard Jenny (2018) |
| Group | Lenticular | Pseudocylindric |
| Property | Compromise | Equal-area |
| Other Names | — | — |
| Remarks | The projection is called A4 because it fits very well on a landscape A4 sheet of paper. | An equal-area projection that was designed to resemble the overall shape of the graticule of the popular (non-equal-area) Robinson projection. See the publication at researchgate.net. |
