| has gloss | eng: The Werner projection is a pseudoconical equal-area map projection, sometimes called the Stabius-Werner or the Stab-Werner projection. Because it is heart shaped, it is sometimes called a cordiform projection. Its name is derived from the surnames of two scientists. Johannes Werner (1466 – 1528), a parish priest in Nuremberg, refined and promoted this projection that had been developed earlier by Johannes Stabius (Stab) of Vienna around 1500. |
