<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=921372213-09022010>I'm current working
with data in long/lat (wgs84) format and using st_distance_spheroid to calculate
the length of my linestrings in meters. I now need to calculate the area
of my polygons and am wondering what the easiest way of doing this would be?

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=921372213-09022010>I am thinking
projecting the polygon with an equal area projection and then using st_area
on the result. Anyone have any ideas on suitable
projections/SRIDS?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
