I'm not able to get any literature that may include only remote sensing data derived parameters.
Hi Varinder,
I think there has been substantial work in this field in the realm of Geosciences. See http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs00254-008-1348-3 for example.

This is a heavily researched area and many tens of models and hundred of implementations exist.
These are link of some papers related to erosion mapping using RS and GIS.

For that you have to do a temporal analysis, in this case need to find out soil mapping using RS temporal data and then use it for some erosion modelling equations for modelling.
I hope it works for you.
Cheers!
Model soil loss and erosion in modified universal soil loss equation
for a start read http://www.tucson.ars.ag.gov/unit/publications/PDFfiles/501.pdf
then try http://35.8.121.139/rusle/resources.htm
Yes,they can be done.Make use of literature on the subject provided by our Research Gate friends.
Yes you can do.But Fist you have to find out the erodiblity factor slope of the area and landuse .. For better assessment you can use SWAT Hydrological Model ...
Remote Sensing and GIS are upcoming powerful sets of tools that can be used in all kind of mapping. I would not suggest you particular model but there are options in remote sensing and GIS which will help in mapping of soil erosion provided we have the satellite images of different time periods.
Remote Sensing and GIS are powerful tools for mapping soil erosion. But the selection of parameters and the model used for mapping is very important of the get accurate maps. Hopefully that these articles be useful:

Yes we can produce a risk map to erosion based on data from GIS and Remote Sensing . With GIS can analyze the susceptibility to erosion according to the elements of the physical environment (soil type, relief, lithology, structural lineaments, use and land cover, slope, etc ...) assigning weights and notes to the information entered. To check the effectiveness of the methodology used, can spatialize the incidents recorded and consider what risk classes of the most recurrent areas.
Thank you so much to all for your valuable time and answers. Collecting the data for various equations is a daunting task in India. Still working on it.
