Preliminary reconstruction of geometry of the ice sheet of the Odra glaciation in northern part of the Cracow–Częstochowa Upland.A b s t r a c t. During the Pleistocene, the Cracow-Częstochowa Upland was covered by the Scandinavian ice sheets two times, which was stated already at the beginning of the twentieth century. The Odra glaciation had probably the biggest impact on the relief of this area . The geometry of this part of the ice sheet was reconstructed on the basis of the analysis of the sub-Quaternary morphology and location of the glacial tills. The modeling of thickness of the ice sheet during the odra glaciations shows, that it was small (110–350 m) in the northern part of the analyzed area. Longitudinal profiles of the ice sheet are fairly gentle, which is typical for glaciers with high activity.
