DESCRIPTION:Most of today's web maps are using the [Web Mercator projection
 ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Mercator_projection). A major issue of
  Web Mercator is the distortion of area sizes far from the equator.\n\nIn 
 2018 Bojan Šavrič\, Tom Patterson and Bernhard Jenny published their wor
 k on the [Equal Earth map projection](https://www.equal-earth.com/)\, an e
 qual-area projection for world maps.\n\nThis talk shows how to use the Equ
 al Earth map projection for web mapping with different kind of data source
 s.\n\nA growing collection of information about using Equal Earth is avail
 able at [equal.bbox.earth](https://equal.bbox.earth/).
