The article presents the results of research on morphological changes of the Carpathian river Ropa caused by high flood events. The analysis was based on the surveys of river cross-profiles located above (1 profile) and below (3 profiles) the Klimkówka Reservoir that were performed in 2009 and 2010. Data on the discharges and water stages of the Ropa River at the gauging station at Szymbark (near Gorlice) were also used in the study. Attention was paid to the possible role of the Klimkówka Reservoir in the transformation of the morphology of the Ropa River channel. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
