Coastal storm has important impacts on morphological evolution of mud tidal flat-creek system, and related research is of great practical value to the safety of coastal engineering and to the development and protection of coastal zone resources. The research progress of coastal storm impacts on morphological evolution of mud tidal flat-creek system was reviewed in terms of research methods, evolution characteristics and dynamic mechanisms. The storm profile for the accretional mudflats is generally eroding in the middle and depositing at both ends, but the study on its dynamic mechanism is not systematic enough. Salt marshes can effectively weaken storm and stabilize sand, but their lateral evolution deserves more attention. Under the impact of storm, the activity of tidal creeks is greatly enhanced, among which the mechanism of tidal creek shift and the bank erosion is a scientific problem urgently to be solved. In the future, it is necessary to further strengthen the acquisition of field data and strengthen the study on the morphological evolution mechanism of the tidal flat-creek system under the impact of storm by means of numerical simulations and physical experiments.
