Description
Dust grains are indispensable part of the matter cycle, which plays an important role in many physical processes in the ISM. Interstellar dust content is determined by the interplay between dust formation by stars, destruction in the ISM and dust growth by mantle accretion in the ISM. The relative importance of these processes depends on both the stage of galactic evolution and metallicity that can be investigated with models of global dust evolution in the ISM. In my talk I will present applications of such models to study the star formation history of galaxies.
