From 1937 to 1938 he participated in the Norwegian Scientific Expedition to Tristan da Cunha in the southern Atlantic Ocean.[1] The material of this expedition was used in his doctoral dissertation Birds of Tristan da Cunha (1952).
Hagen worked both at the University of Oslo and Trondheim Science Museum, was the chairman of the Norwegian Zoological Society (Norsk Zoologisk Forening) from 1955 to 1958, and was a manager at the Norwegian National Wildlife Survey (Statens Viltundersøkelser), conducting wildlife surveys, from 1955 to 1977.[1]
