What's the best place to find all the trivia that's always asked on the event? (e.g. any large scientific databases of articles or like documents I can sift through)

Have you already tried NOAA and USGS(sorry, not very helpful here)? Also, would Wikipedia count?

I search up basic terms on wikipedia and click any related terms, then repeat for a while.

Until you get lost in the maze of links and realize you're studying earth science... for a bio event.

EDIT: Also the main reason I'm doing DP.

Ehh, I'd use USGS more than NOAA, just because I like the USGS more. I'd also get a textboook glossary in your notes that is full of super obscure terms. It will help you interpret questions that are oddly worded and full of weird terms.

One of the representative activities is "Use a downloaded dataset of oxygen to identify water masses and pathways of circulation." Where do we study for this part?

Has anyone found good resources for oceanic research tools (Section 3.xv)?

the website "https://www.marinebio.net/marinescience/index.htm" has a whole section (1.3) on oceanic tools that a lot of test writers take pictures from.

I'm sorry for asking the same question again, but I want to know where to study for the "downloaded dataset of oxygen to identify water masses and pathways of circulation"

The "Representative Tasks" section is just a list of examples of good problems they can give you on a test. That does not mean they are part of the official rules. If a question like that were to show up on a test, the best way to prepare would be to simply have a good understanding of the concepts that are required for the question rather than going out and memorizing a ton of random facts.
