Chuine studied evolution and ecology at the University of Montpellier. She remained there for a doctorate in evolutionary biology, where she modelled the phrenology of temperate zone trees and studied how it impacted evolutionary biology.[1]
Chiune joined the CNRS Délégation Languedoc-Roussillon. Chuine is a professor at the Center for Functional and Evolutionary Ecology.[2] Her research considers the development cycle of extratropical trees. She has developed process-based species distribution models for plants, which she uses to understand how certain trees.[citation needed]
Chuine developed a citizen science programme Observatoire Des Saisons, which collects information about nature observations from people of all ages.[3] The seasons observatory looks to raise public engagement about climate change and environmentalism, build datasets for scientific research and provide a mechanism for the public to understand the impact of climate change.[3]
