Climate data ยท Geoscience evidence ยท AI tools
Research records, shipped tools, and field-informed systems.
Hao's Notes is the public surface for my climate data work, geoscience evidence, shipped tools, and local-first systems. It keeps the original al-folio homepage structure, while giving the active work a wider and more organized presentation.
Current work
Active tracks, organized as working lanes.
Updates are organized as maintained work lanes: public data systems, product builds, research engines, and training tools.
CCUS Policy Hub
Public policy and project intelligence layer for CCUS deployment, regulation, and dMRV evidence. Current work focuses on keeping the data and policy pages coherent as the database changes.
Open system โOwnly
Local-first ownership memory across Obsidian, web, PWA, and agent-readable CLI surfaces. The active track is reliability, terminology, onboarding, and cross-surface consistency.
Open app โAlphaEngine
Experimental research platform for data foundations, factor panels, model training, and reproducible strategy records across selected US and China pools.
View repository โFlappyK
Market-intuition game built around hidden historical K-line decisions. Current work is product polish, PWA quality, analytics, and a clearer arcade identity.
Play game โRhythmCoach
Lightweight rhythm and speech-practice tool for focused review sessions. Current work is content structure, subtle pronunciation marks, and PWA training flow.
Open app โSystems
Public surfaces and working tools.
A manually ordered view of systems that have moved beyond notes: data products, local-first tools, training apps, and research infrastructure.
SELECTED DEPLOYMENTS / 02
Primary systems
Public-facing systems and products that best represent the current direction of Hao's Notes.
CCUS Policy Hub
Climate intelligence / public data product
A policy and project knowledge layer for CCUS deployment, regulation, and dMRV evidence.
Ownly
Local-first memory / personal systems
Ownership memory for humans and AI agents, spanning Obsidian, web, and stable CLI JSON surfaces.
FlappyK
Market intuition game
A browser game built around hidden historical K-lines, positive excess return, and lightweight decision practice.
RhythmCoach
Speech rhythm / PWA practice tool
A local-first speaking practice tool focused on rhythm, timing, recording, and post-session review.
SELECTED DEPLOYMENTS / 03
Supporting tools and infrastructure
Smaller systems, plugins, and research engines that support the wider one-person operating surface.
iCal Pro for Obsidian
Markdown tasks to iCalendar feeds
An Obsidian plugin that turns Markdown tasks into standards-compliant feeds for Google, Apple, Outlook, and other calendar clients.
AlphaEngine
Quant research / strategy records
A research engine for factor experiments, backtests, strategy persistence, and reproducible alpha-discovery workflows.
4D Seismic Hub
Geophysical monitoring knowledge base
A best-practice 4D seismic exploration and monitoring knowledge base with AI-agent oriented interfaces.
HTTP to Obsidian CLI Gateway
Agent-to-vault bridge
A lightweight HTTP proxy that lets sandboxed AI agents safely reach a host Obsidian CLI.
SELECTED DEPLOYMENTS / 04
Open-source footprint
Selected repositories and public artifacts that show the technical substrate behind the main systems.
GhostCam
Virtual camera / real-time background replacement
An ultra-light Windows virtual camera for background replacement, blur, and solid-color background workflows.
Open Phrasebank
Writing system / phrase extraction
A custom phrasebank generation workflow built from selected texts and corpora.
GEO4300 2023
Geophysical data science exercises
Exercise templates and learning artifacts for GEO4300 Geophysical Data Science.
Knowledge
Research records and field notes in one workspace.
The homepage keeps formal research artifacts and working notes close together, because the same evidence base feeds both.
Research record
Evidence, papers, and technical artifacts.
Retrieving snow depth distribution by downscaling ERA5 Reanalysis with ICESat-2 laser altimetry
Cold Regions Science and Technology, 2025
A geospatial modeling record on using ICESat-2 laser altimetry, ERA5 Land, calibration, and XGBoost to map snow-depth variability.
CCUS Policy Hub
CCUS policy, deployment, and dMRV evidence
A public-facing knowledge and data interface for tracking CCUS policy, project deployment, governance context, and MRV-related evidence questions.
4D Seismic Hub
Geophysical monitoring and subsurface data systems
A best-practice knowledge base for 4D seismic exploration and monitoring, connecting offshore field practice with AI-readable technical knowledge.
Underwater seismic device identification system
Underwater seismic devices, PRC patent record
A patent record connected to offshore seismic-device identification and operational field systems.
Field observations
Notes from the edge of the work.
The Agentic Brain: A Blueprint for Personal AI OS with LifeOS 5.0
A systems note on moving from passive digital hoarding to an active agentic brain for personal knowledge and memory workflows.
Read note โ่ฎฉ AI ็่งไฝ ็ๅคง่๏ผObsidian CLI ็ไปทๅผไธๆไน
A short note on why an Obsidian CLI can turn a local knowledge base into an agent-readable working surface.
Read note โA tabular dataset ready for machine learning applications
A field note on retrieved snow depth in mainland Norway based on ICESat-2 ATL08, DEMs, and machine-learning-ready tabular data.
Read note โICESat-2 vs DTM1, DTM10, Copernicus30, FABDEM
A technical observation on DEM comparison, co-registration, bias correction, and ICESat-2 snow-free segments.
Read note โTrajectory
A path from field operations to product systems.
Foundations
Technical formation in geodesy, geomatics, spatial data, and Earth observation. This is the base layer behind the later climate, offshore, and geospatial systems work.
Field Work
Offshore geophysical work and survey operations shaped a practical understanding of expensive, uncertain, high-stakes Earth-system data.
Research
Geosciences research connected remote sensing, snow-depth modeling, spatial validation, and climate-related data systems.
Builder Phase
Independent tools, public data systems, and personal operating surfaces now connect climate intelligence, geospatial systems, and AI productivity.
