We consider an elastic bi-dimensional body whose reference configura- tion is a shallow shell. We establish a Carleman estimate for the linear shallow shell equation and apply it to prove a conditional stability for an inverse problem of de- termining external source terms by observations of displacement in a neighbourhood of the boundary over a time interval.
