contents The overburden structures often can distort the responses of the target region in seismic data, especially in land datasets. Ideally, all effects of the overburden and underburden structures should be removed, leaving only the responses of the target region. This can be achieved using the Marchenko method. The Marchenko method is capable of estimating Green's functions between the surface of the Earth and arbitrary locations in the subsurface. These Green's functions can then be used to redatum wavefields to a level in the subsurface. As a result, the Marchenko method enables the isolation of the response of a specific layer or package of layers, free from the influence of the overburden and underburden. In this study, we apply the Marchenko-based isolation technique to land S-wave seismic data acquired in the Groningen province, the Netherlands. We apply the technique for combined removal of the overburden and underburden, which leaves the isolated response of the target region which is selected between 30 m and 270 m depth. Our results indicate that this approach enhances the resolution of reflection data. These enhanced reflections can be utilised for imaging and monitoring applications.
