- Abstract
The pearl river delta is not only located at the north of the south China sea, but also at the forefront of reform and opening up and economic development, while it is the most intense interaction in the land-sea relationship and outstanding contradiction in the human-earth relationship. On the basis of interaction of natural process and man-made reconstruction, it brings a series of geo-environmental problems, which are as follows: large scale of land reclamation, widely developed mucky soft soils, land subsidence and saltwater intrusion caused by groundwater overdraft, aggravation of coastal erosion and estuary sedimentation, waste pollution, destruction of landscape ecological resources, geological disaster of coastal slope and underwater landslides caused by sand mining, and so on. This problems show the characteristics of long-term and continuously, abrupt change and gradual change. According to present state of geo-environmental problems, it can get the internal, external, motivation of problems by summarized the main types and the basic characteristics, which are sea level rise, human activities, and sudden climate and geological disasters. Based on the analy-sis above, it proposes countermeasures and suggestions as a basis for the prevention and control of geological environment problems.
