  In this paper, we explore how the forthcoming generation of large-scale radio
continuum surveys, with the inclusion of some degree of redshift information,
can constrain cosmological parameters. By cross-matching these radio surveys
with shallow optical to near-infrared surveys, we can essentially separate the
source distribution into a low- and a high-redshift sample, thus providing a
constraint on the evolution of cosmological parameters such as those related to
dark energy. We examine two radio surveys, the Evolutionary Map of the Universe
(EMU) and the Westerbork Observations of the Deep APERTIF Northern sky (WODAN).
A crucial advantage is their combined potential to provide a deep, full-sky
survey. The surveys used for the cross-identifications are SkyMapper and SDSS,
for the southern and northern skies, respectively. We concentrate on the galaxy
clustering angular power spectrum as our benchmark observable, and find that
the possibility of including such low redshift information yields major
improvements in the determination of cosmological parameters. With this
approach, and provided a good knowledge of the galaxy bias evolution, we are
able to put strict constraints on the dark energy parameters, i.e.
w_0=-0.9+/-0.041 and w_a=-0.24+/-0.13, with type Ia supernovae and CMB priors
(with a one-parameter bias in this case); this corresponds to a Figure of Merit
(FoM) > 600, which is twice better than what is obtained by using only the
cross-identified sources and greater than four time better than the case
without any redshift information at all.
