Talk
The spatial distribution of heavy elements within galaxies provides key informations on their star formation history and evolution.
In this talk, I will review the current observational status in the determination of metallicity gradients and chemical abundance patterns in star forming galaxies, both in the local Universe and at higher redshift.
I will try to put the main results in the context of the predictions of the latest chemical evolution models and simulations and discuss which progresses we might expect from forthcoming observational facilities and instrumentation.
