Biography
Bugge was born at Heddal in Telemark, Norway. His parents were Johan Carl Bugge (1847–1902) and Theodora Christine Drolsum (1854–1882). His half-brother Arne Bugge became a state geologist.
He grew up at Gloppen in Nordfjord. Bugge started in 1900 at the University of Kristiania and graduated (cand.min.) as a mineralogist in 1903. During 1906 he continued his studies in Hamburg.
He was appointed administrator ({{lang|no|myntmester}}) of the Royal Mint at Kongsberg from 1907 to 1921. In 1918 he became Dr. Philos. on the basis of his doctoral thesis Kongsbergfeltets geologi. He was appointed director-general of the Norwegian Geological Survey for thirty years, from 1921 until his retirement in 1951. In 1954 he published the geological summary work Den kaledonske fjellkjede i Norge.{{cite encyclopedia|title=Carl Bugge |encyclopedia=Norsk biografisk leksikon|first=Arne |last=Bjørlykke |authorlink=Arne Bjørlykke |editor=Helle, Knut |publisher=Kunnskapsforlaget|location=Oslo|url=https://nbl.snl.no/Carl_Bugge |language=Norwegian|accessdate=18 October 2014}}{{cite encyclopedia|title=Carl Bugge |first= |last= |encyclopedia=Store norske leksikon|editor-last=Godal | editor-first=Anne Marit | editor-link=Anne Marit Godal |publisher=Norsk nettleksikon |location=Oslo |url=https://snl.no/Carl_Bugge |language=Norwegian |accessdate=18 October 2014}}
