In this paper, we consider a coupled system of mixed hyperbolic–parabolic type, which describes the Biot consolidation model in poro‐elasticity. We establish a local Carleman estimate for Biot consolidation system. Using this estimate, we prove the uniqueness and a Hölder stability in determining on the one hand a physical parameter arising in connection with secondary consolidation effects λ∗ and...
