Chemodynamics is the appropriate treatment of the Interstellar Medium with its thermal and dynamical properties of various "phases" as well as of the stellar component in galaxy evolution. Furthermore, the chemical abundances of the gaseous and stellar components and their energetic and materialistic interactions are taken into account (see figure above).
