River LoadRunner

One of my scientific projects, LoadRunner automates the calculation of dissolved river loads, based on public US Geographical Society river flow and water quality sample data. This is a user interface level to automate running LOADEST over whole watersheds. LoadRunner is used to research ocean carbon sequestration, among other things. Runs on Windows and Mac OSX.
