Looks like I'm giving a brief (2hr?) introduction
to Fortran95 for Fortran77 programmer-scientists.

I've been searching for some concise presentation
materials to borrow, but I haven't found anything
particularly concise.

A book with a few hundred pages may not be concise, but I liked the
book
Upgrading to Fortran 90 by Cooper Redwine, published by Springer,
1995, ISBN 0-387-97995-6 .
Clive Page in his "Fortran90 for Fortran77 Programmers" tutorial at
http://www.star.le.ac.uk/~cgp/f90course/f90.html
also recommends it. Even a used copy is unavailable from Amazon (US)
at present, unfortunately.

Links to Fortran 90/95 tutorials are at the Open Directory at http://
www.dmoz.org/Computers/Programming/Languages/Fortran/Tutorials/
Fortran_90_and_95/ , and you can search "77" there to find tutorials
intended for Fortran 77 programmers.

An important feature of Fortran 90 is dynamic memory allocation, and
Les Hatton's essay "The implementation and organisation of work arrays
in numerical algorithms" http://www.leshatton.org/Malloc04.html,
considers both F77 and F90, may give you some ideas.
