The Chemical Enrichment History of the Universe
Abstract
We describe the strong role metal abundance plays in galaxy evolution, highlight the need for absolute abundances in modern galaxy formation models, describe current obstacles clouding the cosmic chemical enrichment history, and provide a suite of new and existing methods which can track absolute metal abundance in galaxies across time.
