A dried-up river can be seen next to sand dunes and salt pans in outback Australia
A dried-up river can be seen next to sand dunes and salt pans in outback Australia in this aerial picture taken on December 13, 2015. Funding and job cuts at Australias climate change research body could undermine its goal of dominating the growing Asian premium food market by placing farmers at a disadvantage to U.S. and European competitors, says a former head of the body. Australias extreme weather means farmers rely heavily on climate change forecasts from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) to mitigate the impact of bushfires, cyclones and droughts.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial print captures the stark beauty of outback Australia, showcasing a dried-up river nestled between vast sand dunes and salt pans. Taken on December 13,2015, by renowned photographer David Gray for Reuters Images, this image offers a unique perspective on the arid landscape. However, beyond its aesthetic appeal, this photo also highlights an important issue. According to a former head of Australia's climate change research body, funding cuts and job losses within the organization could jeopardize the country's ambition to dominate the Asian premium food market. The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) plays a crucial role in providing climate change forecasts that help farmers mitigate the impact of extreme weather events like bushfires, cyclones, and droughts. With Australia's unpredictable weather patterns posing significant challenges for farmers in their quest to meet international competition from U. S. and European counterparts, maintaining robust support for climate change research becomes imperative. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image captured from above - with no people visible - it serves as a reminder of both nature's resilience and our responsibility to protect it. The contrasting colors of desert sands against dry riverbeds evoke thoughts about our environment's fragility amidst changing climates. David Gray masterfully combines creativity with his aerial view photography skills to provide us with an awe-inspiring snapshot that not only showcases natural wonders but also prompts us to reflect on broader issues affecting our world today.
