There is growing interest in a data integration approach to survey sampling, particularly where population registers are linked for sampling and subsequent analysis. The reason for doing this is simple: it is only by linking the same individuals in the different sources that it becomes possible to create a data set suitable for analysis. But data linkage is not error free. Many linkages are nondeterministic, based on how likely a linking decision corresponds to a correct match, that is, it bring...

Ongoing changing climate has raised the attention towards weather driven natural hazards, such as rain-induced flash floods. Flooding model provides an efficient tool in flash flood warning and hazard management. More and more evidence showed significant impacts from sediment on hydrodynamic and flooding hazard of flash flood. But little information is provided regarding flooding hazard sensitivity to sediment characteristics, which hampers the inclusion of sediment characteristics into flash fl...
