Simon P. Heselschwerdt is a PhD candidate at the Climate Service Center Germany (GERICS) and the University of Potsdam. His research is part of the "Uncertain Water Resources under Global Change" (UWaRes) group and focuses on the dynamics of green and blue water resources and their future availability. By introducing the novel Blue-Green Water Share (BGWS) metric, Simon's work quantifies the partitioning of precipitation into green and blue water fluxes using data from fourteen CMIP6 models. His PICO presentation at EGU24 highlighted the regional dependency and primary drivers of BGWS changes under the SSP3-7.0 scenario, emphasizing the influence of temperature, precipitation patterns, and vegetation alterations on water resource dynamics.
