We discuss calculations of the star formation, nucleosynthesis, and stochastic evolution of proto-galactic clouds in a galactic chemical evolution model which is motivated by cold dark matter simulations of hierarchical galaxy formation (Saleh et al. 2006; Lan et al. 2010). We utilize SN-induced and dark matter halo formation-induced star formation within a model that follows the evolution of chemical enrichment and energy input to the clouds via Type II, Ia supernovae and stellar winds.
