CO2 outgassing during collisional orogeny is facilitated by the generation of immiscible fluids

Outgassing of CO2 during collisional orogeny can be explained by the generation of immiscible CO2-rich fluids and hydrosaline brines in metamorphosed sediments, according to thermodynamic modelling applied to the Himalaya.
