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
