Abstract: This paper sums up the recent research progress in the field of coastal aeolian landforms and sediments in China and suggests the problems to need to be solved in the current research. During the last decade the researchers of the coastal aeolian erosion have deepened the understanding of modern coastal aeolian landform and sedimentar, characteristies;discussed the formation of coastal aeolian landform and advanced some local evolution models;discovered the wide-distributed coastal dune-rock (aeolianite)along south China coast and raised the distinguished characteristics between beach rock,ridge rock and dune-rock;put forward the new point of view of aeolian formation on the old red sand sediments.The above progress have greatly enriched the theory on coastal geomorpholog and sedimentology and filled a vacancy of the research field in China. The authors also point out the key problems to be researched currently as follows:the dynamic geomorphologic process of coastal aeolian landform;the diagenesis of coastal change such as sea level change and neotcctonie movement; the weathered(redden)process of the old red sand sediments and its dating methods.
