Metallicity abundances as fingerprints of galaxy evolution

The evolution of chemical abundances in galaxies provides crucial information to study how they formed and evolved. Results in the Local Universe show that on average, star-forming gas-phase in galaxies have negative metallicity gradients and that flat and inverted positive gradients could be associated with galaxy interactions. As a function of redshift, the trend is not clear enough yet, although there is a significant fraction of inverted metallicity gradients. In this talk I am going to summarize the latest results from the EAGLE project on the evolution of the metallicity gradients as a function of stellar mass, galaxy size and star formation efficiency up to z~2.5 and on the impact of the environment by analyzing the metallicity gradients of galaxies in voids and filaments. I will also show first results on a study of the processes that shape metallicity gradients with the CIELO simulations.
