The development of the FORTRAN language, so beloved of scientists, pre-dates the development of XML. And it shows. FORTRAN is not a language that manipulates strings with ease, and this makes parsing XML decidely awkward. So unless you really have to use FORTRAN, you are probably better off with C/C++ (or something else more 'modern'), e.g. Daniel Veillard's LIBXML2 at http://xmlsoft.org/[1].
If you have to use a dialect earlier than FORTRAN-90 (F90), then the chances are you will have to code your own parser.
For later dialects, there are some SDK's available on the Web:
