Carl Bugge (13 September 1881 - 7 April 1968) was a Norwegian geologist.[1]
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 (Norwegian: 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.[2] [3]
He was married in 1911 to Catharine Werenskiold (1883–1968), daughter of painter Erik Werenskiold (1855–1938) and Sofie Marie Stoltenberg Thomesen (1849–1926). His son Jens Andreas Werenskiold Bugge (1913–1984) was a professor of Geology at the University of Oslo.[4]
