Abstract: The evolution of geological environment in the coastal zone concentrates on the changes of the coastline. The survey indicator system of coastline changes was established by Cause-State-Result index (CSR model) based on the analysis of impact, evolution means, hazards and control measures and other factors of coastline changes. The monitoring indicator system of coastline changes was also established by the Pressure-State-Response index (PSR model) on the basis of the investigation indicator system. These results are of great significance in assessing, monitoring and managing coastal environment scientifically.
